ARE YOU PLA VING THE GAME?
There is OTIC basic principle upon which all society rests­reciprocity.
Shatter this and you would cause to totter the foun ­dations
of every governmental and soc1al in~tittltion now cl<;istent.
Upon what else is based OUT elaborate system of tariff and om
international diplomacy with its World Court and League of
Nations save the feeling of mutual helpfulness and need? Xot
0111y in international, but also in national, state, local and social
activities is evidenced this co-ordination of recip rocal parts for the
whole. Indffil it is the most common fact of our ordinary exist­ence
and it is one of the vital facts to which we should be fully
awake.
\Ve should begin to realize that we arc members of a com­munity,
not isolated units, and that as such we have duties to per­form
and duties lhat can't be shirked. Society does not owe u~
anything nor do we owe society anything except as we owe each
other. If we recei\·e fa\·ors we must expect 10 return them; if
we take we must gi\"e. More lhan ever" if we are college girls,
mllst we expect 10 refund what has been It:nl us and with interest.
for society is a high class bank that im"ests its savings in the
education of the individual. It is up to us not to swindle her into
a poor in\·estment but to play the game square-to begin doing
our share now in community work, college activities and social
service, to show we are alive and working and not slackers.
Society, in other words, has tossed us the ba!J-opportunity-it i~
up to \IS to make a goal.
DO YOU BELIEVE IN HERO WORSHIP?
Washington, Lincoln! Great names symbolizing birth,
redemption and progress. Proudly we claim them as typical
Americans, as stock and fiber of us and our country. But are
they? Are they typical of the average American-of you or of
me? Are our lives e\"en a poor imitation, but ne\·ertheless an
imitation, of theirs? Do we Iry to make their ideals, our ideals;
their truth, our truth; their greatness, our greatness? Or are we
rather petty little sycophants trying 10 bathe in the reflection of :..
great man's glory or trying to magnify our smallness in the mirror
of their greatness?
Do they not rather typify what we ought to be, not what we
try to be? Are we not hero-worshippers who merely worship but
r.e\"er stri\"e to imitate? If this is so and 1 am rather afraid that
it is, we shollid be ashamed to call these men brothers--to steal
their glory and endeavor to make it ours. \Ve should strive to
break away from this idle cult of hero-worshippers and weakling~
who distort a true man into a figurehead and a paper doll hero.
We should join the rank of the truly appreciative who show their
\·eneration and respect in doing things worthy of these great men.
We should make our lives a tribute to them by keeping alive the
ideals that they fostered; we should make our lives resemble theirs
so that we can say with truth: "The fathe rs and founders of our
nation are typical Americans who embody to the highest degret:
the ideals found in every true American, such as you or 1."

THE GLEANER
When the English essay is
spoken of. our minds inevitably
turn hack to l ii5 when the most
delightful of English essayists
was gi\'en to the world. There is
about the life of Charles Lamb
an appealing element which some­how
we cannot forget. After
being educated at Christ's Col­lege,
his life was for the most
part devoted to the care of his
sister Mary with whom he col­laborated
in many of his works.
So we see the gentle Lamb living
his unselfish life. writing at times
his longing for what might hav~
been in his essays.
H~ has pictured many of the
phases of London life with its
streets and its shops and its
theaters, for to him they were a
source of n~ver failing delight.
His "Christ's Hospital Five and
Thirty Years Ago" is considered
among the most charming, as well
as the most interesting essays
historically. Were it a part of
Dicken's works, the reader might
think it exaggerated but in this
case we know that Lamb lived
and experienced what he wrote.
h has about it that element which
fills the reader with sheer horror
at the inhuman cruelty which
youth underwent at Christ's Hos­pital.
Lamb makes us feel the
yearning which b«ame a part of
the young lad's dr~am of his
"native town with its church and
trees and faces ."
"Dream Children" is the ex­pression
of a nature that longed
for children and was deprived
of them. Lamb t~lls in a deeply
affecting way of two small chil­dren
who, in his mind, he pictures
as his own. It is a reverie, yet
so vivid that we are startled when
these wide-eyed children of
dreams vanish and leave us alone
with Lamb and "old Bridget at
our side."

One might class Chesterton

style quite different from the

PROBLEMS OF THE DAY
"Yet Again" M. Beerbohm
(Colltilmed fro,,, page 4)
One of the problems occupy­ing
the attention of all thinking
men and women in the United
States to-day is that of flood con­trol
of the Mississippi valley. It
is a question which should have
been to the fore long before this,
but the recent devastation of that
valley has brought it sharply to
the nation's attention. All are
agreed that action should ~ taken
to control these turbulent waters
but the how of doing it is trouble­some.
Shall the expense be borne
by all the states. shall it ~ a na­tional
task, or shall it be restrict­ed
to the actual states concerned?
The states which have suffered
most from the inroads of Missis­sippi
waters are Mississippi, Ar­!..-
ansas. and Louisiana. It would
indeed ~ a monstrous task for
three states, not the richest in the
union by any means, to attempt
this work. Should all the states
take it upon their sl1ouldets? Let
liS see. Those states contributing
to the Mississippi, partners-in­crime
as it were, ought surely to
unite in controlling this menace
just as surely as they must unite
in relief to the sufferers.
Of the total number of all thc
states, all but sevcnteen contribute
to these wasteful orgies of the
